Questions Related to Recording Death Locations

LauraHerbrand

In Swedish family trees, what is the standard for noting death location? Is it the location of the church record, which seems to be the standard Ancestry and Family Search use? Or, if you know the village based on an entry on the visual record of actual death location, should you use the village?

Example: Church record is Brunskog, but notes on the visual church record list the village of Takene.

Is the parish record used because of the difficulty of interpreting written comments on the church record as to whether this is noting death location or where they lived?

Many notes on the records aren't collected in the databases we are searching. Is that typical?

Thank you for any information you can assist with!

Good Morning, That is up to every person how to add the death place, but also when we are adding burial place, that is just the parish name.
